USHABTIs

Psusennes I - Overseer 14.3 cm (worker 13.5 cm). The ushabtis in Psusennes tomb were found in two very even piles. They had been placed into two wooden cases which had completely decayed over time without disturbing the order of the ushabtis inside. Records made at the time give the numbers found:

northern pile - 23 overseers and 154 workers.

Southern pile - 21 overseers and 171 workers.

Another worker was added to this total at a later date making a total of 370 figures, which is very close to the theoretical total of 401.

A column of text of the lioncloth of the overseers praises: 'Osiris King Psusennes-beloved-of-Amun, beloved-of-Osiris lord of eternity'.

The workers hold pairs of hoes and recite an extract from the Book of the Dead.
